Eastham Windmill
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Eastham Windmill, located in Eastham, Massachusetts, is the oldest windmill on Cape Cod. It was constructed by Eastham resident Thomas Paine in Plymouth in 1680. It was first moved to nearby Truro in 1770, then finally to Eastham in 1793. In 1808 the windmill was moved to its present location, near Eastham Town Hall. Eastham Windmill, as part of the Eastham Center Historic District, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.
A local festival, Eastham Windmill Weekend, has been held on a yearly basis in Eastham since 1977, and takes place the first weekend after Labor Day.
